CIGARETTE-TUBE.

Iatented Feb. 25, 1908.

Original application filed May 9, 1901, Serial No. 59,476. Divided and this application filed January 21. 1904. Serial N0. 190.091.

T 0 all whom it may concern.

Be it known that we, JULIEN GUENIFFET, ANATOLE Burton", and J ULES NICAULT, all citizens of the Republic of F rence, and resid ing in Paris, France, have jointly inventedmouthpiece so as to be pervious to smoke but to oppose the passage of tobacco when the cigarette is filled. 'lhis diaphragm permits of dispensing with the plug of cotton wool which it has been usual to place in the tubes or cases. The rim or longitudinal edge formed by the outer extremity of the mouthpiece plug when it is rolled preferably coincides with and thus is hidden by the seam of the cigarette tube or case proper.

The accompanying drawings illustrate a product embodying the invention and a process of limiting the same. I

Figure l is a plan of a sheet of paper or past-ebourd from which the mouthpiece is formed. Fig. 2 is a. section of the same with the tongues turned up. Fig. 3 is an oblique view of a complete mouthpiece. Fig. 4 is an oblique view of a tube with the'mout-hpic-ce partly introdured thereinto and partly unrolled. Fig. 5 is an oblique View of a 'complete tube with the mouthpiece in place. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal sectional View of the same...

The lengths into which the strip of )a )er 1 is out before being rolled into a tu bu er mouthpiece are indicated at A, Fig. 1, and it is understood that the edge may be tongued in any suitable style. In the style illustrated the tongues are produced by perallel'slits forming straight parellebsided tongues B end of the complete mouthpiece A.

preferably of gradually increasing length toward the adjacentend of the blank, so that in the finished product they shall not be all in the same plane, but shall overlie one another in succession, as indicated'in Figs. .3 and 6. The tongues are then bent down as described, and stand in the position shown in Fig. 2. In the final shape of the mouthpiece the tongues form a diaphragm lettered B (Fig. 3) which is a slight distance'within the portion of the edge of the blank upon which there are no tongues forms a tube of slightly less thickness than the remainder and projecting beyond the diaphragm B.

Fi 4 shows the mouthpiece A not completely unrolled and with the outer-longi'tudinal edge C in position to coincide With the seam D of the tube E. The mouthpiece is.

The i shown withdrawn from the tube for acertain distance for the salze of clearness.

Fig. 5 shows the mouthpiece A in its finished form and in its final location in the tube E, and Fig. 6 shows the position of the parts within the tube.

Having now particularly described the nature of the invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we that what we claim is 1. A cigarette mouthpiece having a dim 'pliragm formed of substantiallyparallelsided tongues bent inwurdfrom one edge.

2. A cigarette mouthpiece having a. die.- phragm formed of substantially parallelsided tongues bent inward from one edge, said tongues being bent up at dii'i'erent' distances from the edge so that they will readily overlie one another in the finished die-ghragin.

In witness whereof We have hereunto signed our names in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
